    Whoever determines the correct us of words, has decreed that further and farther are interchangeable. I will continue to use ā€˜furtherā€™ when meaning ā€˜that something is in additionā€™, and ā€˜fartherā€™ when ā€˜a greater distance.ā€™

    I wondered why Opalā€™s cat was paying so much attention to Earl. I thought maybe heā€™d gotten into the catnip!

    Wait until you take your sweater off, Earl! You may have one made of cat hair on it! (From experience my cat Toki)!

    Heā€™s right about farther. Further is for everything besides distance such as Donald went further than Joe to stop illegal immigrants. Earl shouldā€™ve said farther both times.

    ā€œFurtherā€ can mean a male cat that has sired kittens ā€“ a Fur Father.

    Earl sort of looked interesting with the ā€œcat mustacheā€ there in the third panelā€¦

    Muffin is like a lot of cats that immediately hang around people who donā€™t like cats, which Earl is one of. Iā€™m surprised Earl doesnā€™t shoo the cat off him.

    Itā€™s easy to remember. Farther is in the distance domain, further is in the time domain. Weā€™ll drive a bit farther and then have further discussions about where weā€™ll stay.

    I asked my father. ā€œIs it further or farther, father?ā€ He just looked at me blankly.

    When I was in training to be a docent at the Bronx Zoo, another trainee said she understood ā€œprecocialā€ (animals that were ready to go on day one, like horses) and ā€œaltricialā€ (animals that needed nurturing, like tigers). ā€œPrecocialā€, she reasoned, had the same word root as ā€œprecociousā€, ready early. And ā€œAltricialā€ was from ā€œaltruisticā€ ~ the parents would help others.

    Itā€™s a good memory device, but she was completely wrong.

    No Deadheads in the Pickles community apparently. I expected some comments about Bob and Philā€™s band Further.

    Farther is distance and further is time. As in; I will, without further delay, get farther away from this furball.

    He has the right idea though. Farther and further were correct, except for the cat.
